Not every sci-fi classic has to end up in the same spot as Terminator, though. There are some series that make sure to reel themselves in when it’s time to drop another entry. Fortunately for the world, a few follow-ups are on the way with serious hype. Here are four sequels to sci-fi masterpieces that are currently in the works.
4) Avatar 4
It’s hard to call Avatar 4 a sequel to a sci-fi masterpiece because Avatar: Fire and Ash has yet to hit theaters. However, the break between Avatar and Avatar: The Way of Water has done wonders for James Cameron, who is firing on all cylinders and ready to deliver another box-office smash in 2025.
What makes Avatar 4 a project worth waiting for is the time skip that Cameron has already confirmed will take place. A six-year jump will occur, aging Jake Sully and Neytiri’s children to better prepare them for the fight against the humans and the Na’vi who wish to harm them. There’s also a chance that the movie takes the Sully family to Earth, where the story will surely take a dramatic turn.
3) Dune: Part Three
Dune: Part Two was a worldwide sensation. The Internet couldn’t get enough of Timothée Chalamet’s performance as the complicated Paul Atreides, who had to take matters into his own hands after learning about the truth of his father’s death. Going into Dune: Part Three, Paul is walking a dark path that’s sure to change the galaxy forever.
The band is getting back together for Dune: Part Three, which will hit theaters on December 18, 2026, and a few new faces are jumping on board. Robert Pattinson joins the cast as Scytale, a Tleilaxu Face Dancer, and Nakoa-Wolf Momoa and Ida Brooke will appear as Paul’s twin children.
